The tongue represents the water element and its function is to taste. A fisherman hangs an insect or worm on a fishing hook and lowers it into the water. A fish, who is swimming free in the deep water, gets trapped by the fishing line because it is tempted to eat. The fisherman reels in the fishing line and puts the trapped fish on hot sand. The fish abandons its life force in agonizing pain.
